2015 Revo 13 Has Landed!! Updated Pic

Finally my 2015 Revo 13 came this Saturday so I picked it up Adventure Sports in Oakley.  Byron greets me in the store and I help him unwrap my brand new kayak. 

We put down next to a brand new Pro Angler 17 waiting for its new owner to take it home.  Dang, its massive.  For kicks I tried picking one end and it wouldn't move.  I asked Don (Elusive) who was at the store too if we can both move it.  I was at the bow and he was at the stern.  We tried lifting it but it wouldn't budge and we gave up. 

Took my new Revo home.

I immediately noticed the upgrades compared to my 2012 Revo 13.  The Drive now called Mirage Drive GT for Glide Technology and comes standard with Blue ST Fins.  I swapped them out for Turbo Fins.  I haven't taken it out OTW and can't comment on how it performs.

Ahh..  The new Vantage CT Chair is amazing.  It took me a couple of minutes to figure out the controls and quickly got use to it.
Comes with Front Up /Down adjustment, Rear Up / Down, Recline Adjustment and best of all Lumbar Adjustment.

Plus you can use it as a beach / lawn chair on land.

No more wet butts with the new seat and redesigned drainer.

The steering handle is now facing outwards and there is only one paddle keeper bungee. 

I changed the factory rudder to a larger sailing rudder.

The mid ship carry handle cavity has been expanded to get a better grip.  If I see any more I will give an update.  I can't wait to get it wet. 

Updated Pic. -- There is a drain cover located in the bottom hull.  Its directly above the speed drain on the seat area.

I am so jealous! Congrats!

Awsome looking yak Mel ! whats that extention cord doing right next to the yak ? looks like getting ready for mod ( scotty rod holder and fish finder setup .. hehe ...

Glad you got it.  Can't wait for the real life trial review.  This may just be my next kayak. 

Congratulations Mel. What a nice looking kayak. 

Sweet yak Mel! Don't scratch it 

Awesome...now let's get a otw review and see some slime on it!

Congrats, Mel.

Call me if you need some stuff like Scotty mounts, etc. I have 1 or 2 laying around.

Let's go next weekend and some fish slime on it.

Sweet yak Mel! Don't scratch it 

Or drop if the truck!!

Looks sweet! Interested on your thoughts of the seat after a few trips OTW.

Nice boat, Mel.  Gotta love yum yum blue!   

Nice Yak!

Sweet ride Mel!  I'm anxious to hear what you think after you get it on the water.  I want to demo one before I take the plunge, but I think that's my next boat as well.

Mel, would the old sailing rudder and turbo fins work? Or did they change all that as well.

Congrats on your new ride Mel.
